Davy Jonesn.

/ˈdeɪvi ˈdʒəʊnz/

Forms:

α. 1700s–1800s David Jones.

β. 1700s–1900s Davie Jones, 1700s– Davy Jones, 1800s– Davey Jones.

γ. 1700s– Davy, 1800s– Davey, 1800s– Davie.

Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name David Jones.

Etymology: Originally (in α. forms) < David Jones, the fictional name of the spirit of the sea (see note). In β. forms with substitution of Davy (also Davey , Davie ), pet-form (compare -y suffix⁶) of the male forename David . In γ. forms probably shortened < the γ. forms.The origin of David Jones (also Davy Jones and variants) as a name for the spirit of the sea is uncertain. Perhaps David refers to St David, who was often invoked by Welsh sailors, and Jones shows a humorous alteration (after the frequent surname in Wales) of the name of the biblical prophet Jonah, who was cast into the sea and swallowed by a huge fish. Other suggestions, e.g. that the name derives from that of a real pirate, are less likely.

In nautical slang: The spirit of the sea; the sailors' devil. Davy Jones's (or Davy's) locker: the ocean, the deep, esp. as the grave of those who perish at sea.
